Monthly
Next Level
The monthly magazine of Glake Hill Ministries.
What it is
Eight pages. Once a month. Free.
Not a daily devotional. Not a drip campaign wearing a magazine’s clothes. One issue a month, eight pages, and then we leave you alone until the next one.
Every issue carries the same four things: a teaching, a tool, a testimony, and one thing to do before the next one arrives. That last one is the whole point. A magazine you only read is a magazine that changes nothing.
It arrives as a PDF you can print. People put it in a folder, hand pages to a Grove, and read the tool page out loud in small groups. That is what it was made for.
It costs nothing, it always will, and your address is never sold.
A teaching
Pages 1–3One passage, taught the long way. Usually a piece of Matthew 25 or the germination science standing next to it, with the citation printed where a footnote would go. Long enough to be worth sitting down with, short enough to finish at a kitchen table before the coffee goes cold.
A tool
Pages 4–5Something with lines on it. The Napkin Test, a Soil Test page, a pruning loop, five if–then plans with the blanks left open. Print it, write on it, keep it in the back of your Bible. Every tool in the magazine is the same one used in the course and the cohort — nothing here is a sample.
A testimony
Pages 6–7Somebody’s field, and what came up in it. Named when they let us name them, always with the ordinary part left in — the year nothing moved, the week they almost quit, the small thing that finally went in the ground.
One thing to do
Page 8One assignment, small enough to finish before the next issue arrives. Not a challenge, not a streak. One move, with a date on it, and a line to write the date on.
Free, monthly
Have Next Level in your hands next month.
One email a month with the issue attached. Nothing else comes to that address unless you ask for it.
What past issues look like
The same four departments, every month.
The magazine runs on the four teaching pillars — the same four the weekly videos run on. Once you know them, you know where to turn before you open the issue.
- Department 01
The Third Servant Files
The deep study, serialized. Why he buried it — the fear, the hard-master lie, the rank wound, and the burial that looked responsible.
Every issue carries the deep study forward one step — one reason the gift went in the ground, examined slowly.
- Department 02
Germination
Seed science as sermon. Dormancy, fire, scarification, and the two-thousand-year seed. Nobody else is teaching this.
The lab bench page. Dormancy, fire, scarification, the two-thousand-year seed — with the citation printed, always.
- Department 03
The Five Bridges
The how-to pillar. Napkin Test walkthroughs, Almanac builds, and the Grove liturgy demonstrated.
The how-to department. A tool walked through end to end, with the blanks shown filled in by somebody real.
- Department 04
Look at the Field Now
Testimonies. What came up, and who it belonged to. This pillar grows every year the cohort runs.
The back-half pages. What came up, and who it belonged to. This department gets longer every year the cohort runs.
A magazine that only gets read is a magazine that changes nothing. Every issue ends with one thing to do, and a line to write the date on.
